"I have been practicing psychiatry for almost 20 years. I treat adults, mainly women, between the ages of 20 and 60 who often are going through one of life's "hot spots": the tricky late 20's-early 30's, challenges in fertility, the impossible balance of motherhood, marital struggles, midlife crises, menopause, and the aging process. These difficult times may require medication: however that is my last resort after sleep, diet, exercise, relationships and medical issues have been addressed.

"Whether practicing insight-oriented psychotherapy or psychoanalysis, I listen to the way a person tries to solve his or her problems and help them to come to a new understanding based on greater tolerance for what they feel. My medical background helps me to be aware of the complicated interplay between what is physical and what is psychological. I help my patients sort out what we can treat with psychotherapy and when medications may make a difference."
